YOUR ADVENTURES DESERVE AWESOME IMAGES

The TG-5 has the imaging power you need to never miss a shot. Its specialized image sensor and dual quad core TruePic™ VIII Processor minimize noise to produce sharp shots in all lighting conditions, even underwater and in low light. Capture fast moving subjects without blur thanks to the bright F2.0 lens, and shoot continuously up to 20 frames per second in full res RAW. Use Pro Capture Mode to nail perfect shots that require split second timing. It buffers a running series of high-resolution images, then captures a precise moment plus the previous 5 frames with a single button press.

SURVIVAL OF THE TOUGHEST

Whether you’re shooting on a rafting trip or in a snowboard park, you’re focused on getting awesome shots. Your camera should take care of itself. The TG-5 does – no protective housing needed. It’s waterproof to 50 ft (15 m), crushproof up to 220 lbf (100 kgf), and shockproof from 7 ft (2.1 m). It’s dustproof and works great even at a bone-chilling 14°F (-10°C). When you’re on the go, temperatures can change quickly. That’s why the TG-5’s lens is equipped with Anti-Fog Dual Pane Protective Glass to stop moisture from getting in. We’ve even designed the knobs and buttons for easy operation while you’re wearing heavy gloves.

VIDEO AS VIVID AS REAL LIFE

With TG-5, incredible still shots are only half the story. Simply turn the TG-5’s Mode Dial to the movie icon to capture Ultra HD 4K video with spectacular detail just as you remember it – the colors in a sunset, the coral on a reef, a skier carving a mountainside. Besides jaw-dropping 4K, you can shoot video in Full HD 1080 or HD 720. Get creative with TG-5’s Full HD 120 fps High Speed Video for slow motion playback. For longer adventures, the 4K Time Lapse feature lets you easily create short videos of extended periods of time.

SHOOT CLOSE.REALLY, REALLY CLOSE.

An exotic flower, a multicolored seashell, an insect on a leaf. The TG-5 makes incredible macro photography easy. Turn the Mode Dial to the microscope icon and shoot as close as 1 cm from your subject. Microscope Control Mode provides magnification in precise steps up to 44x. Use the Focus Bracketing and Focus Stacking Modes to easily create images with maximum depth of field and razor sharp focus. Add the optional LG-1 Light Guide to evenly illuminate still subjects up close and the optional FD-1 Flash Diffuser to freeze moving macro subjects at fast shutter speeds.

I have only owned this camera for a couple weeks but have found no limitations yet! The light diffusers and optional add on lenses give this point and shoot the feel of a high end camera. Can't wait to take it to the depths on my next tropical adventure.

Better than expected

I bought this camera for use with my outdoor activities, especially fishing. The cold weather has prevented me from fishing, but i've been taking plenty of pictures pictures in cold snowy weather. The camera features are intuitive and easy to use. I was especially pleased (and happily surprised) with the macro features when taking pictures of snow flakes in below zero conditions.

Great camera, good price, nice feel, good control placement, lots of features for a camera in this price range

Have only had for a few days and just purchased extra battery, charger and both lenses. This is an uodate model of a 12 year old predecessor version. After reading manual and some initial playing with the camera I think this is going to be a great addition to my camera gear with lots of improvements and features which caused me to make the decision to upgrade. Nice feel, good arrangement of controls - very happy

Just got my TG5. I had my TG2 for 4 years of HARD abuse. I'm talking, wading in deep water, dropped on boulders, and on endless hikes. If the TG5 is anything like the ol TG2, I'm sure it will last.

Awesome Point and Shoot w/ many advanced options.

Awesome little point and shoot camera. So far have captured sharp, crisp outdoor photos in all lighting conditions. Have not been able to use for underwater photography yet. Wonderful selection of features. Very happy with the ability to shoot in RAW.
